From Boli to Chahantoro Sea, it spans more than 2,800 kilometers from east to west. Not to mention ancient times, even though Zhao Xin took a modern means of transportation from another time and space, he was traveling non-stop. When he appeared on the west bank of the Tes River at the end of the 18th century, 48 hours had passed.

Zhao Xin's figure just appeared from the other side of the river. The people from the "South Detachment" reconnaissance company who had been waiting here for a long time discovered him and quickly notified the command center.

The battle in Chahantorohai has ended for six days. Due to insufficient ammunition, the "South Detachment" did not continue to pursue south these days, but began the transformation of prisoners without stopping.

Among the more than 1,700 prisoners, most of them were Jianding from the Zasaktu Khan tribe and Sanyin Nuoyan tribe west of Hangai Mountain. They lacked understanding of the Northern Navy and had many doubts. When they were drawn to dig pits and buried the bodies on the first day, they were afraid and kowtowed to mercy, thinking that the Northern Navy would take them to a secluded place to kill them; especially the Eight Banners and Mongolia and others.

However, when a day passed, the prisoners found that the North Navy neither fought nor insulted them. In addition to searching for weapons, they ignored their personal belongings and also treated the injured prisoners. So people gradually calmed down. Although they were given a meal at noon a day, the porridge mixed with dried meat was really delicious.

Regarding the prisoners' custody, Mislang just asked someone to surround them with ropes and wooden stakes, and at night, he could light a few bonfires to keep warm.

Although the prisoners were afraid of death, few people dared to escape. First of all, the North Navy's muskets were shot far away, and they were scary. On the first day, a ignorant Mongolian leader of the Eight Banners who ran more than 200 steps away, but was shot down and his body was dragged back. In addition, the Chahan Torohai was not in front of the village or the shop behind it, because of the bloody battle that night, many wolves were attracted to appear around; if they were not killed, they would be bitten to death by the wolf.

After cleaning the battlefield and burying all the bodies, Huji and Mislang started the prisoner education work without stopping. Like Liu Sheng's side, the South Detachment also asked the Buryat Mongolian soldiers to come forward, talk individually, educate collectively, and talk about the North Navy's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners; in addition, it was to identify and review the Eight Banner Mongolia and ordinary Arc Ding, and to distinguish detention, in order to prevent these people from inciting the prisoners.

After Zhao Xin arrived at the command center, he did not immediately talk to Huji or Mislang. Instead, he went to the grave of the soldiers who died in battle to pay tribute, and then went to visit the wounded soldiers.

The sudden appearance of the boss of the North Navy caused a huge sensation in the "South Detachment". When Zhao Xin came out of the wounded tent, hundreds of soldiers were already standing outside, all looking at the "His Royal Highness Zhao" with eager eyes.

Zhao Xin walked to the soldiers closest to him, lowered his head and asked, "Which company are you from?"

"First Battalion 2nd Company..." Several soldiers raised their hands in panic and saluted, and then said their names.

"Tell me about the battle that night." Zhao Xin waved his hand and signaled that several soldiers would sit down. He found a wooden stake and placed it under his butt.

After hearing a soldier named Li Yougui briefly describe the battle situation he experienced, Zhao Xin asked: "Squad Leader Li, how many people are there in your squad?"

"There are only four of us left," Li Yougui licked his dry lips, pointed to the other three people beside him and said: "Machine gunner, ammunition hand, he is a rifle soldier."

Zhao Xin observed Li Yougui's face and whole body with an aggressive look. Because the other party's expression had a sense of pressure, Li Yougui, who was already a little nervous, couldn't help but shrink his neck.

It was at this time that Li Yougui also looked at Zhao Xin. He remembered that he heard the soul figure of the North Navy speak to the entire army through a loudspeaker a few years ago in the trenches of Jaques. He didn't see it at that time, but the voice with a hint of indignation and loudness always left an undeleted impression in his mind.

Li Yougui felt that he and King Zhao knew each other. The other party had already known his name, and he was particularly happy. The dullness and melancholy that had been over the past few days disappeared. He and his companions sat around Zhao Xin, completely like a child, with a satisfied smile on his face that had acne.

"Are you from Henan?"

"Yes, we are all from Zhangde Mansion."

Zhao Xin nodded with a smile, and then asked another soldier who was squatting on the ground more than two meters away from him, "Where are you? Tell me too."

"I want to tell me that this battle was not happy, I guarded the position every day and waited for the enemy to fight. There were too few cannons and not enough machine guns, so I didn't even bring barbed wire this time. At night, tens of thousands of people rushed to the position with their lives! The bullets were almost exhausted. If I hadn't thrown a few big guys, I would have been afraid..."

As Zhao Xin listened, his brows frowned involuntarily. His hands crossed together, and his thumbs kept banging each other.

After asking another soldier, Zhao Xin sat cross-legged with his legs and stood up with force. He looked at the young faces in front of him and shouted: "You have fought well in this battle! Eight hundred people fought against 20,000, and they won! The troops were a little sacrificed, and you were sad, and I was sad. But it is precisely because of your courage to face the strong enemy and never retreat that has laid the foundation for our next step of liberating the entire Khalkha! On behalf of the 1.2 million people in Beihai Town, I salute you!"

After saying that, he raised his hand to salute all the soldiers present, and hundreds of people present also saluted Zhao Xin, and then began to shout "Long live".

Zhao Xin brought a lot of supplies this time, in addition to ammunition and oil, there were also some grain, meat and vegetables. So in the evening, the "South Detachment" happily gave a tooth sacrifice.

However, in the tent of the command center, Zhao Xin changed his kindness in front of the soldiers and scolded Hu Ji and Mislang, with the purpose of suppressing the pride brought by the narrow victory.

"Who gave you the courage to fight with 800 people and 20,000 people?! Why don't you dare to cross the river and attack their camps on their own initiative? Is it meaningful to insist on staying on these two hills?!"

Hu Ji nodded, "We are afraid that they will fight against Chaktu, so..."

Zhao Xin said seriously: "I have made arrangements in Chaktu, so I am guarding against the Qing Dynasty! How did you tell you before departure? You are lightly dispatched, disturbing the enemy first, and following the Qing army's large forces, what should I do if I am running out of ammunition and food? The soldiers are not afraid of death, but as the chief officials, they are proud and underestimating the enemy, and cannot see their weaknesses, which will waste their blood! What is the price of recruiting a soldier in the Qing Dynasty? How long does it take to train a soldier in the North Navy? How long does it take to train a soldier in the North Navy? These soldiers are all reading and literacy, and I will have great use to retreat. Let them fight with the Qing army for bayonets. Do you think you two are stupid?"

This was the first time Mislang saw Zhao Xin getting angry. He was like a wild child who had caused trouble at this moment, lowering his head and saying, "Sir, you are right! I'll ask for punishment."

Huji also lowered his head and said, "Sir, I was wrong, please punish me!"

After Zhao Xin finished training, he said in a slow tone: "How is the transformation of the captives doing?"

Hu Ji said: "A dozen or so Mongolians heard about the treatment we gave us and were willing to do it. As for the more than a dozen Eight Banners officers, most of them were stubborn. I asked someone to lock them up alone in Karen's warehouse."

"We must respect the living habits of the Mongols." Zhao Xin sighed and continued: "These Mongols have been controlled by the Qing Dynasty for many years. The concept of 'orthodox' is very strong, not irritating or insulting. It is not enough to just turn enemies into friends, but to turn friends into me is the best. If those officers are as you said, they will release them in two days."

"Let it go?"

"The purpose of release is to divide and disintegrate the enemy. Those ordinary arrowheads, mainly wounded prisoners, should be treated preferentially, and educated them on the exploitation nature of the kings and kings and lamas. This is called the combination of struggle and struggle. I heard that all prisoners are given a meal?"

"yes."

"Nothing, the injured prisoners must be filled with them." Zhao Xin paused for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Let's go, take me to see the Eight Banners Mongolian soldiers."

In a small warehouse in the courtyard of the Chahantorohai Station, more than a dozen slightly injured Mongolian Zhengbai Banner officers were tied up, and they were strung together with ropes behind them.

When the door of the house was opened, the officers saw a very tall man standing outside the door, but because of the light problem, they couldn't see clearly.

A soldier from the reconnaissance company opened the flashlight in his hand and looked at the captains' heads and faces one by one for Zhao Xin to see. The captains were almost covered with thick gauze on their heads, one of them was lying on the ground, with his left eye wrapped under the gauze, his right eye was tightly closed, and his nostrils were gasping for breath, as if they were having difficulty breathing, and his mouth kept opening, closing, closing, and opening.

"How is this person's injury?" Zhao Xin asked Hu Ji softly.

Hu Ji pressed Zhao Xin's ear and whispered: "The medical soldier has conducted an examination and said that the injury is not serious!"

"Find him a door panel for mat, and everyone gives him a blanket."

As soon as he finished speaking, a person in the room said coldly: "Don't pretend, you have the ability to kill me!"

Zhao Xin raised his hand to stop the soldier who was about to scold him, and said loudly: "It's not easy to die? A bullet is enough! But we won't do that! I don't even kill Fukang'an, what can you guys count?"

His words caused the restlessness of the Eight Banners officers in the house. They all stared at Zhao Xin's figure, trying to figure out who this was.

"Your injuries are not serious. We will cure you and cannot die!" Zhao Xin paused for a moment and said, "If you are willing to go back, let you go back when the injuries are healed!"

What! There is such a good thing? Everyone in the house looked at Zhao Xin in disbelief.

A Mongolian ginseng leader of the Eight Banners seemed to have caught the straw for survival, struggled to kneel on the ground, kowtowed to Zhao Xin, "Thank you! Thank you! I am over seventy..."

Zhao Xin asked the soldiers to shoot the flashlight on the Mongolian officer so that the other party's appearance would be clearer, and then he said decisively: "Whether you are still thinking about the corrupt court, the North Navy will be united sooner or later! Now you are all captives, and we don't treat you as enemies. But you must think clearly that there is no way out to fight against the North Navy! It is not possible to deceive us!"

After saying that, Zhao Xin said to Huji: "Let them explain clearly about the situation of Ulya Sutai and Kobdo, and the strength of the Qing army in the south. If you explain clearly, let them go back. Each person gives a horse, three days of dry food, and some more money."

Afterwards, Zhao Xin, Hu Ji, Mislang and others had dinner together, and convened battalion commanders and staff members from various departments to hold a meeting and arranged the subsequent strategy. Zhao Xin meant to take steady steps and not rush to attack Ulyasutai for the time being, but instead transformed prisoners and expanded the influence of the left-wing front banner, left-wing Houth Banner and left-wing left-wing left-wing left-wing left-wing left-wing left-wing, allowing more herders and arrows to serve the Northern Navy.

When the meeting ended, he pinched his forehead, which was a little tight, and considered the situation in his mind one by one.

Liu Sheng and his friends were still on their way to Sairwusutai. The information obtained from Naqitai before showed that the Qing Dynasty sent a total of more than 100,000 troops this time, and the leader was Agui, the Grand Secretary of the Strategic.

In addition, Fukang'an, who has been in charge of Jilin, suddenly went north to Hulunbu Yuer last month. The Qing army in Qiqihar was also quietly mobilizing westward. It seemed that the target was either Kulun or Chaktu.

Come on, no matter how many people come, they will be disappointed! In fact, when he first arrived in Boli Town, he had ordered the newly formed 15th Regiment of the Northern Navy to rush to Chaktu. Now the large group of people had already taken a boat to Yaquesa. As for Heilongjiang City, he also made preparations just in case. In addition to the original garrison battalion, he transferred two more battalions from Boli and Furdan City.

Now, Zhao Xin's entire strategic layout for the Qing Dynasty has begun to show signs, just like playing Go, and is at a critical moment of grabbing the "eye position in the corner".

Some people in the Qing court guessed halfway. After fighting Outer Mongolia, he did advance to Urumqi and Yili, with the purpose of preventing the Qing Dynasty from fleeing Xinjiang. However, after that, what he wanted was not Beijing, but Shandong and Jiangnan, and a large population was his goal.

With the new immigrants from Shandong as a supplementary source of troops, the first batch of Beihai Army that joined the army will be reorganized and retired. Zhao Xin’s goal is at least 10,000 people. With this 10,000 people, those who have been deeply educated by Beihai Town for many years of ideological education, the first team of cadres who went south will be able to be completely controlled from top to bottom.

Yes, from the beginning, Zhao Xin's idea of ​​building the army was not only about soldiers who could hold guns, but also about the army as a melting pot and university to cultivate talents for industrialization and administrative teams. That's why he got angry with Hu Ji and Mislang, believing that bayonet fighting is a huge waste.
